21、The Happiest Cities On Earth

If you’re looking for a cheery destination for your next vacation, consider these four spots and get ready to take notes on how to really live the good life.

Singapore

With one of the highest population densities（密度）in the world and residents known for being workaholics, it’s hard to imagine the city-state of Singapore having one of the happiest populations on earth. And yet in a recent survey, 95% of them said they were either very happy or quite happy.

They give their city high marks for cleanliness and safety—subways are pristine (洁净的) and unfailingly arrive on time, and police are seen as helpful and good at their jobs. What’s more, they feel they can count on their neighbours—all 5.1 million of them.

Arhus, Denmark

The residents of Arhus cheerfully part with 68% of their income in taxes, knowing that in return they will be guaranteed free healthcare, free daycare, and a top-notch (第一流的) education for their children.

An energetic city of 300,000 with a lively cultural scene and a diverse number of religions represented,__________(the range in incomes is narrow), as well as easy access to the nearby sea and surrounding countryside, make Arhus seem more like a small town.

San Luis Obispo, CA

According to a 2008 Gallup-Healthways study, people who live in San Luis Obispo are more likely than residents of other U.S. cities to smile and experience joy and are less likely to experience pain or depression. About 64,000 of the 260,000 people in the greater metropolitan area (都市区), located halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, volunteer at over 11,000 non-profit organizations.

Few journeys to work are longer than 10 minutes (one reason its members rank in the upper third for job satisfaction), so “it’s easy to be involved,” resident Pierre Rademaker said. Business signs are unobtrusive (不显眼的) by law, fewer than 11% of residents smoke—the lower rate in the U.S.—there are lots of bike lanes, and the city’s plaza draws crowds of people for free concerts on summer Fridays. What’s not to love?

Monterrey, Mexico

The people of Monterrey don’t enjoy high household incomes or access to good healthcare. Instead, there’s a profound sense of gratitude for the new political freedom enjoyed since the oppressive Institutional Revolutionary Party lost power in 2000—the first time in nearly a century—as well as an emphasis on social life over work.

Another reason Monterrey residents may be so happy is their faith in God and family, and their ability to tough it out through bad times.

“We laugh at sickness, poverty and even death,” says Basanez, a political scientist who lives in Monterrey. “We even have a holiday to celebrate death. November 2, the Day of the Dead, is one of the biggest holidays of the year.”

【1】According to the passage, what do the residents in the four cities have in common?

A. All the residents can make great fortunes by working hard.

B. The residents there are mostly educators.

C. All the residents enjoy enough material wealth.

D. The majority of the residents are satisfied with their current life.

【2】According to the passage, we can infer that _______.

A. the people of Singapore expect their neighbours to come to their help when necessary

B. the people of Monterrey even observe one’s death on a special day of a year

C. the residents of Arhus happily pay 68% of their income for their children’s education fee

D. the people who live in San Luis Obispo have job satisfaction because they can enjoy good working conditions

【3】According to the passage which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

A. The people of Monterrey didn’t enjoy political freedom until 2000.

B. The residents in Singapore feel happy because of its low population density.

C. The people of San Luis Obispo can enjoy free concerts in summer.

D. Arhus is handy to the seaside and countryside.

【4】What can we learn from the underlined part “the sense of equality”?

A. The residents of Arhus have no racial discrimination.

B. Arhus is considered as a family sharing everything with each other.

C. There is no wide gap between the rich and the poor in Arhus.

D. The residents of Arhus can depend on their neighbours to help.

22、If you know exactly what you want, the best route to a job is to get specialized training．A recent survey shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training．

That’s especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers．At Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, for example, bachelor’s degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement．Large companies, especially, like a background of formal education coupled with work experience．

But in the long run, too much specialization doesn’t pay off．Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval．The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially, but the impact of a degree washes out after five years．

As further evidence of the erosion(销蚀)of corporate(公司的)faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State’s Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices．Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management．“They want someone who isn’t constrained(限制)by nuts and bolts to look at the big picture, ” says Scheetz．

Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have：writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-mindedness and adaptability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems．David Birch claims he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree, “I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things, ” says Birch．Liberal-arts means an academically thorough and strict program that includes literature, history, mathematics, economics, science, human behavior-plus a computer course or two．With that under your belt, you can feel free to specialize．“A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace, ” says Scheetz．

【1】 What kinds of people are in high demand on the job market?

A. Students with a bachelor’s degree in humanities．

B. People with an MBA degree from top universities．

C. People with formal schooling plus work experience

D. People with special training in engineering．

【2】By saying “…but the impact of a degree washes out after five years”(Line 5, Para．3), the author means ________．

A. most MBA programs fail to provide students with a solid foundation

B. an MBA degree does not help promotion to managerial positions

C. MBA programs will not be as popular in five years’ time as they are now

D. in five people will forget about the degree the MBA graduates have got

【3】 David Birch claims that he only hires liberal-arts people because ________．

A. they are more capable of handling changing situations

B. they can stick to established ways of solving problems

C. they are thoroughly trained in a variety of specialized fields

D. they have attended special programs in management

【4】Which of the following statements does the author support?

A. Specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists．

B. Formal schooling is less important than job training．

C. On-the-job training is, in the long run, less costly．

D. Generalists will outdo specialists in management．

23、According to data, there are under 100,000 people entering Canada every year to work for limited periods of time. Generally speaking, these people have professions where there is a shortage of skilled workers in Canada. There are opportunities for holidaymakers to enrich their travel experiences through paid work.

A work permit is a non-immigration permit. It is for the purpose of working in Canada for a set period of time. To qualify for a work permit in Canada, you must have a valid offer of employment from a Canadian company or employer. That offer must be admitted by the Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC). The employer will have to meet all the conditions given by the government. Besides, the work that you will carry out will not be disadvantaging similarly qualified Canadian workers.

To get a work permit, you must convince a Canadian immigration officer that you intend to be in Canada only for the duration of your employment. Depending on the type of work and the length of stay that you intend to do in Canada, you may be asked to attend an interview to discuss the matter further and you may also be asked to complete a medical examination. What’s more, you are responsible for these costs. When your work permit expires (到期), you should return to your homeland. You cannot get a work permit if you go travelling in Canada.

One thing to bear in mind is that although you have received a work permit, you may still be refused entry into Canada by Port of Entry officials. You may need to clarify to them your purposes of visiting Canada. Once you arrive in Canada you will need a Social Insurance Number (SIN), which is a requirement for working in Canada. You can request a Social Insurance Number application form at the Port of Entry when you arrive in Canada or from the HRDC later. Once you have filled out this form, you will receive your SIN later by post. And you can give it to your employer before you work in his or her company.

【1】What is needed to get a work permit in Canada?

A．Personal information.

B．A recommendation letter.

C．Valid immigration papers.

D．A legal offer of work.

【2】What will you have to do after your work permit expires?

A．Leave Canada.

B．Find another job.

C．Ask for a travel permit.

D．Apply for a new work permit.

【3】What do we know about SIN in the text?

A．All visitors to Canada need it.

B．It’s as important as a work permit.

C．Employers will help you get it.

D．You should get it before arriving in Canada.

【4】What is this text mainly about?

A．Advice for foreign workers in Canada.

B．Travel tips for tourists to Canada.

C．Work regulations in Canadian companies.

D．Tips for immigrants in Canada.
